- Hello, Beautiful!
"The pain will leave you when it's done teaching you."
Heidi heard that line recently and filed it straight under commandments.
This week, she hands you two: that one and another that stopped her cold when she saw it written on the page.
Are you willing to go through pain to get what you truly want?
This is a different kind of episode, my sweet. Not one to fix, solve, or research. Just one to sit with.
Heidi invites you to slow down and process; to stop stuffing the hard things down, to bring your pain into the light where it can't survive, and to ask yourself one honest question that only you can answer.
Are you using your pain to drive you? Or leaning on it like a crutch?
There's no shame here. Only grace, a little Lauren Daigle, and a whole lot of hope.
You’ll Discover
👣 Why processing your pain matters more than fixing it
👣 What it means to bring pain into the light so it loses its power
👣 How to tell the difference between pain that drives you and pain you're leaning on
✨ Plus two Scriptures, a prayer for the weary, and a reminder that you are never forgotten.

A river never travels in a straight line. She begins small, high on a mountain or hidden in the forest. She rushes, she’s still, she goes over the rocks. Some seasons she is glass.
Women are like a river.
Some seasons she’s a current she didn't choose. And still, she’s always moving toward the sea.
This week something poured out of Heidi: a poem from years ago that suddenly grew into something much bigger.
Sitting with Day 7 of My Beloved and Isaiah 66:12, "when peace, like a river, attendeth my way," she found herself seeing her whole life in the water. The stillness and the strong current. The logs that stuck her for a season. The rocks that became waterfalls. And the One carrying her the whole way, like a raft, to the shore.
This is a gentle, floating kind of episode. Come rest in it.
You’ll Learn:
🌊 Why every season you've been through, the calm and the current, is still moving you forward 🌊 How to find peace on the log, in the season where you feel stuck
🌊 What it means to be carried, supported, and never alone
✨ Plus a poem, a prayer, and a blessing of peace spoken right over you.

Have you ever been stuck and couldn't figure out why?
You’re not tired, certainly not lazy, just... off.
Your mojo packed a bag and left no forwarding address.
Well, then I think you need to have a listen!
This is week three of our Essence series: Breath, Heart, Soul.
We released what we were holding. We faced what we were hiding. And now we come home to who we are: our soul, our essence, the part of you nobody put there but Him.
Heidi confesses a very real slump, the reels that didn't get made, the creativity that went quiet, and the moment Day 3 of her own devotional stopped her cold and reminded her of the simplest thing she'd forgotten to do.
You’ll Learn:
👣 Why a slump is often an invitation, not a failure
👣 The one thing I forgot to do, and finally did, on my knees
👣 What it means to always live from your identity as a beloved child of God
✨ Plus, a gentle guided meditation, a little Brand New Day wink, and a prayer to help you breathe it all in and step into your own fresh start.

The most dangerous lies you'll ever hear are not the ones somebody tells you. They're the ones you tell yourself, in your own voice, in your kitchen.
And you never think to question them!
This is week two of our Essence series: Breath, Heart, Soul.
Last week we released what we're holding. This week we look at what we're hiding.
Heidi tells the truth about her 2018 layoff, the confidence that turned to crickets, the season she called Pity City, and the lie she believed for far too long, until someone who loved her refused to let her stay there.
You’ll Learn:
👣 The three steps down when you stop being honest with yourself
👣 Why "I'm fine" is the first lie, and the hardest one to catch
👣 What Ray kept saying that I couldn't hear for months
✨ Plus, you'll hear a few funny moments, heartfelt reflections, and a powerful prayer to help you embrace the season you're in with faith and courage.

There's a kind of crying that makes no sound at all. If you've ever been down on that floor, this episode is for you.
Isak Dinesen believed that saltwater—whether sweat, tears, or the sea—is the remedy for everything. That quote sits right in my heart.
So, this week, we’re starting a new three-part series, Breathe - Heart - and we land on Soul, your Essence, and we begin with breath, because you cannot receive the truth while you're holding your breath.
You’ll Learn:
👣 Why the cure for anything is saltwater, and what Isak Dinesen understood about your body
👣 The three salty ways out of what you're carrying: cry, write, move
👣 Why Scripture calls your wordless sighs prayer, not brokenness
👣 The one-breath shortcut you can do at a red light
✨ This Wednesday, July 22, My Beloved: A 30-Day Devotional to Receive, Release, and Radiate arrives. It's also Heidi's birthday. Come celebrate on Instagram @riselovelive.
